HTML to MOBI Conversion General Questions

I use Calibre to convert from an HTML file to MOBI and upload that MOBI file to Kindle. I haven't had any issues and then suddenly on one ebook I've gotten reviews that the formatting is off and Amazon sent me a notice that "HTML Tags are present throughout." I'm trying to nail down what the issue is.

I use HTML5 doctype so this is what the HTML file looks like -- things in [] are not actually in the document and are just there for this thread.

Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, div, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, ul, ol, dl, li, dt, dd, pre, table, th, td, tr { margin: 0; padding: 0em; }
[more styles]
</style>
</head>
<body>
[ebook]
</body>
</html>
Are there any issues with the above?

Are there issues using HTML5 doctype? If I shouldn't use HTML5 doctype, then what HTML doctype?

I don't use any HTML5 tags. But are there any other HTML tags that Kindle doesn't like? Does Kindle have any issues with em instead of i or strong instead of b?
